The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley
2.0
I really wanted to love this book, but that wasn’t the case. I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t like it that much either.
The characters... they were SO unlikeable! Some I liked more than others (Doug and Heather were the best characters in the whole book imo) I found my self not really caring who was murdered, what a unkind group of friends

I Am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes
3.0
WOW! I really enjoyed this book! It’s not a genre I usually go for, but I couldn’t put it down.
It was so interesting and intense! The entire last part of the book had me on the edge of my seat. The pacing was spot on and there was never a boring part, or a part I didn’t like. I found myself trying to guess what was coming, and then getting it completely wrong every time!
The only reason it isn’t 5 stars is because I found the writing style a bit odd to understand at first (as it jumps to different characters and different times with no warning). Once I got used to it though I really enjoyed it, but I found the first 100 pages or so a bit hard to read!
Overall, once I got into the rhythm of it, I was hooked and thoroughly enjoyed it!

The Children Act by Ian McEwan

Very mixed feeling about this. The beginning was extremely boring, but once Fiona met Adam I felt the story became what I was expecting. Not amazing but thought provoking.

I have very mixed feelings about this book. I liked it, but I didn’t love it. It was well written, but I found it a bit dry in some parts.. overall not bad but not my favourite.
